- Are we providing all the termcap capabilities that have different
names under terminfo?
http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xcurses/terminfo.html

Yes.

- Are you planning to link libtermcap.so to libterminfo.so?

Yes.

- Will setting $TERMCAP still work? What are you planning to do with
tset -s? - Who are we copying the terminfo library from? FreeBSD? -
Something needs to be done with tn3270 (c3270 or whatever)

$TERMCAP will not work
tset -s just prints $TERM
I wrote the terminfo code, but the terminfo database is from ncurses.

There are probably a few more things that will break that I have not
considered so far...
